Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while using the converter, here are common solutions:

Common Issues and Solutions

Slow Loading

Problem: The converter takes a long time to load initially.

Solution: This is normal for first-time use. The converter downloads a 25-30MB library. Subsequent uses will be much faster.

Out of Memory Error

Problem: Browser runs out of memory during conversion.

Solution: Close other browser tabs, try smaller files, or restart your browser to free up memory.

Conversion Failed

Problem: File conversion fails or produces errors.

Solution: Ensure the input file isn't corrupted or DRM-protected. Try a different output format or quality setting.

Download Issues

Problem: Converted files won't download or are corrupted.

Solution: Check your browser's download settings and ensure you have sufficient storage space. Try downloading files individually instead of using "Download All".

Browser-Specific Issues

If you experience persistent issues, try switching to a different browser. Chrome and Firefox generally provide the most reliable experience. Ensure your browser is updated to the latest version.
